Escobedo, Salgado in action

WBC #10 featherweight Eduardo “Canilla” Escobedo (27-3, 19 KOs) moves up a division takes on Aritides Pérez (18-1, 10 KOs) for the WBC super featherweight silver belt on Saturday at Centenario Stadium in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico. “The fans will see a good fight,” stated Escobedo, who is trained by the famed Nacho Beristain. “I think it’ll end by knockout and I’ll be the winner.”

In the co-main event, former WBA featherweight world champion Juan Carlos Salgado (21-1-1, 15 KOs) returns against Guadalupe “Bronco” Rosales (28-5, 16 KOs) in a lightweight ten-rounder. It will be Salgado’s first fight since losing his world crown to Takasi Uchiyama in January.
